Remarks. Lectotype designated by Clench & Turner (1950). The record Rolán & Fernández-Garcés (2015) from Colombia and Lamy & Pointier (2018) from Guadeloupe are misidentifications of Cerithiopsis metaxae var. taeniolata Dall, 1889 (M.R. Fernandes pers. com. January 2020). Rolán & Fernández-Garcés (2007) considered Cerithiopsis bermudensis Verrill & Bush, 1900 a possible synonym of Cerithium rugulosum C.B. Adams, 1850 . Cerithium vicinum is considered a junior synonym of Cerithium rugulosum C.B. Adams, 1850 by Rolán & Fernández-Garcés (2007) and Faber (2010). Various authors reported the name Metaxia rugulosa G.B. Sowerby, 1850 . However, Sowerby never introduced this name, but only mistakenly recorded the Caribbean Cerithium rugulosum from C.B. Adams from European waters (B.A. Marshall, 1977).
